      some people were never athletes so they don't know how to be hyper-competitive and supportive/appreciative of who they're competing against at the same time.

      Why are Femke Bol fans always so angry? Just because she is coming in second in Paris doesn't mean we are looking down on her--------All we are saying is, in a million years, Bol wouldn't be able to beat Sydney---and that's a fact.🤣🤣

    The way I look at it (the competition between these two excellent women) is that, no matter who wins, what a great story! While it is good to see this kind of self-discipline with just one athlete. It is fantastic to see these two taking two parallel paths to greatness, and possibly intersect into a fantastic final race. It is the stuff dreams are made of.

      The Fever...this is why I felt that Sabrina "Super Bowl" comment was intentional, because the teams at the top see them coming and that's not a problem the want to deal with.

      @micdewitt We throw people out there, so they're not training together very long. The Dutch, Irish, Pols, DR, Jamaica... they train together for years.
      Part of that is because by default, those small countries don't have the luxury of our depth, but with handoffs, it makes them competitive. We don't always win, we do make mistakes. But, with how deep we are, on paper, we should be murdering every relay.
      Those Polish smoked us last Olympics in the mixed 400. I live in Arizona, which is about the size of Poland. AZ is way bigger than the Netherlands and Ireland, also Jamaica. It blows my mind when relays jump off, and we either don't win or barely win. Even the DR has had some good recent teams.
      I dig the relays, they're a genius way of making track a team sport. I wish there was a Diamond League event that was the U.S. versus Europe where it is all relay teams. The Euro teams would be the top 4 based on time rankings. Maybe do it every 2 years, also Latin America versus Asia. Then, the winners from each face off and that determines the ultimate world relays. It would be the 100, 200, 400, 800, and 1500.

She dodged Bol for the World Championships in 2023 ("minor knee injury") Because she new that Bol would probably have beaten her, like Paulino had done at the Diamond League in Paris. So she stayed home to "prepare" for the Olympic Games. While Bol WON 36 races in a ROW. McLaughlin did NOTHING. And now 2 months before the Olympics she suddenly reappears, "stronger than ever"...

      @desireewilliams4462 She can jog through any qualifying rounds... no need for her to go hard. Today was more about her settling into the strides correctly and maintaining form. She was that fast today because she is just faster each race as her form is coming together. She's always fit, she races a lot, so that won't be an issue in Paris. She is also going to be running relays.

I do not hope the best athlete wins when it comes to the Olympics, I hope USA wins and you SHOULD not tell another person what they SHOULD or shouldn't hope for. It's that how you feel, feel that way, but the audacity to walk around telling other ppl that they SHOULD feel like you. FOH. I'll enjoy the sport the way I do - Diamond League or other events its' whatever, Olympics and WACS it's "let's go USA", until a winner is decided. Doesn't mean you don't applaud the winner, or be ashamed of silver, but I'm not a "I just want everybody to do well" type of athlete or fan, I want to win.

      I know it was but you can only run where you're at. She wasn't the first or the only person to run in that altitude. They didn't hit that time, only 3 ppl have. There's always a wind or faster/slower track to take into consideration for every race, nothing really matters until they're all on the same track at the same time. But I'm still going to acknowledge her PB and hype up one of the most anticpating matchups in the 400 in a long while...even if it's only myself that' s getting hype to see it

      @@albertalbiala1053 Nope, I know all that, and you are the one who is dicsonnected from reality. A difference in PB (!) of 0.3 does NOT imply that the difference on the finishline will be 0.3 seconds. However, a difference in PB of 0.3 seconds is small enough that the Form of the day can decide who is the winner. And there are number of things to consider here.
      1.) Bol has rapidly closing the gap to mcLaughlin. In terms of their PB: in 2022: 1.59 sec, in 2023: 0.8 sec, in 2024: 0.3 sec.
      2.) Recent analysis shows that Femke Bol is actually slightly FASTER than McLaughlin over the hurdles
      3.) Bol ran the 50.95 at 994 meter altitude (gives about 0.1 to 0.2 sec advantage)
      4.) However, McLaughlin ran all her "really fast" times on the superfast Beynon track at Hayward Field. McLaughlins fastest time on any other track is 51.46
      5.) McLaughlin peaked very early at the US trials. There is a good chance that she peaked TO early
      6.) Bol has not been pushed to her limit since she switched to the 14 step stride in 2023. Since then Bol has won ALL her races with 15 meter or more and normally not even being winded. The same goes to a certain degree for McLaughlin, however mcLaughlin was ABSENT for more then a year.
      Conclusion: ANYTHING can happen on the day of the final. McLaughlin is the favorite, but Bol has a good chance of winning.
